What Colorado Springs's weather means for clothing brands
Heat is occasional, about 23 days a year at 90°F or above, so a heavyweight boxy tee stays comfortable through most of the warm season in Colorado Springs, with a lighter style for the hottest weeks. Highs stay under 65°F for 6 months (November to April), so fleece is half the line or more, and it pays to offer two weights: a midweight hoodie for fall and spring and a heavyweight for the coldest stretch. Rain is light enough that outdoor shoots rarely need a rain date, so the bigger question is light: shoot early or late in the day for softer shadows on the product. With about 33 inches of snow a year, a cuffed beanie sells alongside most winter orders, so bundle it with the fleece drop. Around 160 nights a year fall to 32°F or below, so a lined or quilted coaches jacket can join the hoodie in the winter drop.
